Who should Kansas City Chiefs fans be keeping an eye on when the Las Vegas Raiders come to town?

The Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders meet for the first time this season and both teams hope to knock the other one down a peg. The Chiefs have won the last five games against the black and silver, but the Raiders aren’t the same laughable team they once have been, sitting at 2-2 on the year and looking pretty good in their first two games.

Since then, however, they haven’t been disciplined and have been turning the football over quite a bit. The Chiefs eat teams like that for breakfast, so now it just begs the question of which Raiders team will be coming to Arrowhead on Sunday? Will it be the impressive team we saw in Weeks 1 and 2 or the poorly coached squad that’s taken the field in Weeks 3 and 4?

Either way, these four Chiefs need to have big days for the defending Super Bowl champions.

Bashaud Breeland

Bashaud Breeland spent the first four games of the season on a suspension he was issued during the offseason. This will be his first game back from suspension, so it only makes sense that all eyes will be on Breeland.

The Chiefs have been experiencing a lot of injuries at cornerback, so Breeland is going to be welcomed back with opened arms. He’ll likely be covering Henry Ruggs (at least during some point during the game) and that won’t be easy, as the first round pick has blazing speed. Breeland had two interceptions during the regular season last year, so the hope is that he can get one this week or at the very least, play like the CB1 the team is expecting him to be.
